Sometimes the father wishes for another name than that selected by the mother. In that case two lamps are placed over the two names, and the name over which the lamp burns brighteat is the one given to the child. In the Egyptian family the parents choose a name for their baby by lighting three wax candles. To each of these they give a name, one of three always belonging to some deified personage. The cundle that burns the lougest bestows the name upon the baby.

The Mohammedans sometimes write and these they place in the Koran. The desirable names on Ave slips of paper, name upon the first slip drawn out is given to the child. "Che children of the Alnos, a people living in northern Japan, do not receive their names until they are 5 years old. It is the father who then chooses the name by which the child is afterward to be caller. The Chinese give their boy babies a name in addition to their surnames, and they must call themselves by these Dames until they are 20 years old.

At that ago the father gives his sou a new came. The Chinese care so little for their girl babies that they do not give them a baby name, but just call them No. 1, No. 2, No. 8, No.

The writer does not know of any polish with which the hardwood interior of bouses may be so successfully treated, after it has become scratched and worn, and it is equally good for old scratched furniture. It does not possess so disagreeable an odor as kerosene or benzine, and what odor it has quickly evaporates. Crude oil is a popular remedy for rheumatism and various diseases of the skin. Its use for this purpose is of ancient date. Mauy of the healing wells of old were nothing more than petro leum wells.

The Balm well of St. Catherine, situated over the coal mines near Edinburgh, was one of the most famous of these holy wells, and it is not strange that a superstitious age ascribed a miraculous origin to the wonderful healing oil which floated on its surface.

Keller. Tailor and Draper, 311 Market St, NOT GOOD FOR ENGLAND An Englishman's Reasons For Opposing Bimetallism, THE MILK IN THE GOLD COCOANUT. Parity of the Two Metals Could Be Main. tained, bat the Artificial Gold Falae Could Not True Inwardness of Lombard Street's Opposition to Silver. The London Times of recent date contained a letter from Sir Thomas Henry Farrar.

Re was a member of the British royal commission appointed in 1886 "to inquire into the recent chunges in the relative values of the precious metals, shown by the decrease in the gold price of silver." His letter to The Times occupies three columns and is on the subject of bimetallism and the Indian mints. Instead of opening the Indian mints again to the coinage of silver rupees he advocutes tho adoption of the gold standard for that country, says the Kansas City Times. He discusses at length the French and American proposal for bimetallisin at a fixed ratio. Of course he does not believe that "either the United States or France or both united could possibly by opening the mints create a demand for silver which would maintuin its gold value at the ratio of to 1. Nevertheless Lord Farrar felt called upon to state what the effect of bimetallism would be if it succeeded in maintaining the parity between the metals, or, as the bankers call it, "a par of excbange," at the ratio of to 1.

But here comes an astounding admission on the subject from as high an authority as can be found in Great Britain. The British commission consisted of 12 members, six of whom were aDcOnipromising monometallists and the other six equally firm bimetallists. Lord Farrar was one of the former. Out of all England he was one of the six chosen to uphold the gold standard cause. We repeat, therefore, that he must be accepted as a high authority.

He stands today as he did then. Alarmed by the suggestion that the Bank of England may admit silver as a part of its reserve, be rushes to the defense of ap exclusive gold reserve, and, fearful lest the Bank of England may influence the public mind in somo degree to believe that the gold standurd party regards silver still as one of the precious metals, he proceeds to attempt the annihilation of that metal. Hitberto monometallists have all insisted that until all nations could come into the agreement the free and unlimited coinage of silver would not restore the parity. Over and over again they have been answered that the free and unlimited coinage of both metals in the single nation of France did maintain the parity during two generations. But this Englishman comes from behind the false premises of his fellows and declares that bimetallism would be objectionable.

not because the parity between the two metals could not be maintained, but because the preseut artificially created value of gold could not be maintained. Hure are his very words: "Supposing the proposal succeeded. Its effect would be in all parts of the British empiro and all gold standard conntries that the standard of value would be altered, enabling debtors to discharge gold debts with silver at the ratio of to 1, because any one could take silver to the French or American mints and get it coined into francs or dollars, which, on the bypothesis that the plan succeeds and stable exchange is secured, would be worth in the markets of the world, including London, one-fitteruth and a balf of their weight in gold. It would the United States or the French government, supposing them to owe debts abroad, to use the enormous stocks of silver they possess in paying those debts with less than half the silver with which they could now pay them. "Such a change would te good for neither India nor any other country which values common honesty.

Such 8 change would be most injurious to Great Britain and the British empire." His declaration is that the ratio of to 1 "would mean that the present gold value of silver would have to be incrensed 125 per cent." This is not the correct way to state the change that would occur. It is true that the value of gold. measured in gold is exactly par. The value of a gold dollar measured in silver bullion is about 82.25. The value of the silver bullion in dollar, messured in gold, is adont 45 cents.

The effect of bimetallis would be to speedily increase the value of silver 55 per cent, which would bring it up to 100 cents on the dollar, while it would redace the value of gold about 45 per cent, bringing it down to 100 cents on the dollar. In other words, it would squeeze out the extra value which has been legislated into gold and would restore to elver the value which has been legislated out of it.

confused minds concerning the true inwardness of the Wall street and Lombard street atioklers for the gold standard. It ought to be impressed upon the American people that this leading English monometallist, speaking for his class both in England and America, opposes bimetalliam because it would restore the parity botween the metals and because it. would enable debtors to pay their debts with honest money, either of silver or dollars at par with each other, instead of discharging them by the payment of 45 cent dollars or 225 cent gold dollars.i Wolcott's Fallare.
